Ding! The clock struck midnight. I sigh. My sister is out, again, trying to find this gem called Gama. It is very rare and few islands would have it. I look down on the book I was reading. It was about a mare who finds a vengeful spirit in her home who is trying to kill her family. The author is amazing, capturing every detail precisely, kinda like how a practiced swordsman would strike at his foe. I grin. As the climax was about to begin, a loud- and annoying- knock was heard. I roll my eyes. What should a mare do to get some peace! I thought. I close the book and rush down the stairs. In my frustration, I swiftly opened the door. I swallow my anger and fake a smile. I eyed my guest. It was a stallion, covered in a green slimey liquid and panting.
"Sweetie Belle!"the figure shouted.
He pushes me to the ground and I was unable to move. I struggled before realising who the figure was.
"Button Mash!?" I scream. A flash of crimson was on his face.
"Sorry."he apologises."Got stuck in the sewer." My anger turned to disgust as I pushed him away. Five minutes of taking a bath was gone to waste. Trying to change the subject, I ask him what the ruckus was about. Immediately, he gave me a piece of paper. I skimmed through it. As I read, my eyes widen. It was impossible! It cannot be! Not even Starwhirl the Bearded figured out a spell for this!
I look up to him and as I say,"A gem to time travel?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. Excitedly, he nodded, jumping up and down and barely able to contain his excitement. I wanted to say that it was impossible. It only occurred once and that doesn't even count! It was talking about reliving the past. You change it, not your past self. I looked into his eyes, filled to the brim with hope, never taking no for an answer. I imagined what would happen if I were to say no. He would either cry or throw a tantrum. I nod. Besides, what's so wrong about taking a chance?
